Just because someone becomes the ruler of a state, it does not mean you have to tow the line. The responsibility of every democratic citizen is to fight against tyranny. Not a right, not a privilege, but a responsibility.
When fucking Trump gets to sit in the White House, you can at least agree that some people are going to feel like they've had their breath punched out.
I get what you guys are saying. I get how you guys are feeling.
But I can't accept it.
If many people, black citizens, citizens of color were to think that way, all of our cultures would die a silent death, submitting to defeat and throwing centuries of fighting and progress down the drain.
I'm not saying it will be easy. But you and your children would be there for each other, for support. It's not like you'd be burdened with having to teach them everything all at once. There's so much good for them to see in the world too.
And there's SO MANY people who also condemn hate and racism. Hell, some of them are organizing right now all over the country. We're all caught in a bad beat right now, but the only way we make things better for tomorrow is if we PERSIST and help each other.
Do not become paralyzed by fear. Find strength. Please
